20 Current "Fat" Athletes Who Are Still More Athletic Than You

20 Current "Fat" Athletes Who Are Still More Athletic Than You

Fact: Your New Year's resolution probably had something to do with going to the gym and trying to lose some holidays pounds.

But for some pro athletes, not even resolutions can get them in shape.

While most athletes are strong and fast, there are a few that get by on the Dunkin' Donuts diet and are still able to perform at a high level.

So go ahead and try to improve your mile time to sub-eight, because these players are still in much better shape than you actually are.

Angel Cabrera, PGA Tour

1 of 20

Though this Argentine golfer might not beat any of the other world's top golfers in a race to their ball, he has certainly held his own on the links by winning two Majors in his career ('07 US Open and '09 Masters).

Jeroen Verhoeven, Dutch Club FC Utrecht

2 of 20

We understand that goalies don't necessarily have to run around the pitch for 90 plus minutes like the other 10 guys, but you'd think that they'd require a body that was a little bit better than Verhoeven's!

The current FC Utrecht goaltender actually held down a spot between the pipes for Dutch powerhouse Ajax for two seasons, proving that everyone loves a little cushion for pushin'...away shots that is.

Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers

3 of 20

The reigning AL MVP and Triple Crown winner, Miggy can rake better than most baseball players, but he isn't exactly the sveltest out there.

For Cabrera's sake, we're just glad baseball uniforms are stretchy and don't form to the curves of your body, otherwise he might not be as quick turning on an inside pitch.

Lamar Odom, Los Angeles Clippers

4 of 20

When you think of fat athletes, Odom might not naturally pop into your head. After all, it's not like he's a heffer out there trying to keep up.

Zach Randolph, Memphis Grizzlies

If there was any doubt about this pudgy forward, look no further than how he performed during the 2011 Playoffs when he lead an underdog Memphis team to an upset of the No. 1-seeded Spurs, while pushing OKC to seven-games in the Conference Semis.

David Ortiz, Boston Red Sox

8 of 20

When a dude's nickname is "Big Papi," one would assume that guy's a beast, and in Ortiz's case, that definitely holds true.
